Seafood allergies, the third most common food allergy, may be complicated; the following factors must be considered.
1. As fish spoil, they build up histamines. These histamines, when eaten, can cause an allergy-type reaction without the actual allergy. In other words, if it isn't allergies, it's food poisoning. Toxins in the water where the fish live can also cause an allergic-type reaction.
2. Cooking fish thoroughly can reduce the potency of the allergens in it.
3. Some people are allergic to just one type of seafood. Some people are allergic to all of it. There are three main types of seafood allergies:
a. Fish. Bony fish and cartilaginous fish.
b. Crustaceans. Lobsters, shrimp.
c. Mollusks. Mussels, oysters, clams.
If you are allergic to "b", you're probably allergic to "c".
4. Interestingly, other food items can contain seafood protein. They include hot dogs, bologna, ham, Worcestershire sauce, Marinara sauce, and obvious items like caviar and anchovies.
There are many reasons this individual may be able to eat certain types of seafood without a reaction. You might want to show him/her the above information!

Im allergic to most seafood I can only seem to be able to eat fish with no real side effect but in anycase when I am in the mood for seafood I just go to my medicine cabinet roughly an hour or two before I eat and take a claritan so that way by the time I am ready to eat I wont have to suffer with those pesky allergies, also if I happen to go out to eat and not stay home than I take one benadryl with me and take it right before I start to eat.
Hope this Helps
and Good Luck to whoever has they allergies

There can be levels of exposure that can allow some people to eat seafood. Others only suffer from shellfish allergies specifically or such. Try Web MD for some medically based answers that might be more specific.

sure it truly is particularly achieveable. I in no way had a difficulty transforming into up. My dad won't be able to eat pecans, pistachios, and different nuts like that yet he can eat peanuts. i like end result and vegi's yet while i replaced into approximately sixteen i began out to have reactions to intense acidic end result and vegi's. Strawberry's, Oranges, Tomatoes or perhaps banana's all make my lips, tongue and throat itch and swell. It sucks reason i like all those issues. i will nevertheless eat them a splash at a time with no difficulty yet greater effective than a chew or 2 and that i'm no longer doing stable.
